Educator Programs

Calling all environmental educators, naturalists, and outdoor professionals across Vermont! Join the Vermont Education & Environment Network (VEEN) for our annual Spring Gathering at the Farm Barn at Shelburne Farms. Together, we’ll immerse in an evening of networking, delicious food (including a wood-fired pizza potluck), and place-based experiences. 

VEEN Members and non-members welcome. 

Choose one of three free Learning Journeys:

  • Embark on a Weed Walk with Katherine Elmer to discover medicinal plants found on Vermont's working lands
  • Meet the (Aquatic) Macroinvertebrates with Professor Declan McCabe to explore the critters who call a pond ecosystem home
  • Discover the Secret Life of Wild Pollinators with Ecologist Leslie Spencer to learn how to identify these gentle insects and support native pollinators in your own backyard

 

The Vermont Education and Environment Network is a coalition of dozens of organizations and individuals promoting environmental education in Vermont. Our mission is to foster a network of individuals and organizations working together to promote high quality outdoor, environmental and educational experiences.
